First time riding in the desert so I can"t give it a 5 ("as good as it gets"),but it was a great ride. Excellent desert scenery, good flow, some degree of technical riding amidst some deceptively difficult climbs.I crashed and burned early on my second loop,so I had to walk out, but I will be back!

Had a nice time on this trail. I would say that for the most part, it is a biking trail. You need to keep your eyes and ears open for them. They can sneak up on you. Some nice views of the Red Rock area. Pretty good work out. Bring lots of water, there is no shade to be had.
